Former San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick took his woke SJW act to Alcatraz Island Thursday to take part in what has become an annual event among Native American activists: the Alcatraz Indigenous People’s Sunrise Gathering, also known as “Unthanksgiving Day.”

He continued: “If there’s one thing that I take away from today — in seeing the beauty of everyone out here, it’s that we’re all getting stronger every day. We’re getting larger and larger every day. I see the strength in everybody — the dancing, the rituals. That is our resistance.”

Kaepernick then repeated his line about fighting for justice and freedom: “We continue to fight for justice. We fight for our freedom and we continue on that path.”

The 89 activists who occupied Alcatraz demanded that it be turned into an American Indian cultural center and school. The occupation ended after the government cut off their electrical power and telephone service and a fire destroyed numerous buildings on the island. A large force of government officers removed the remaining 15 people from the island on June 11, 1971.
